Dr. Soliman will evaluate your condition, explain why a surgical procedure may be recommended and discuss what you can expect before, during and after treatment.
When Might You Need Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery may be recommended when a dental problem cannot be predictably resolved with a simpler treatment. Reasons patients may need surgical dental care include:
- A severely damaged or decayed tooth that cannot be restored
- An impacted or problematic wisdom tooth
- A tooth that has broken below the gumline
- Dental infection requiring surgical treatment
- Bone loss that may require grafting before another procedure
- Preparation for dental implant treatment
- Dental trauma affecting a tooth or surrounding structures
Whenever possible, Dr. Soliman considers whether a natural tooth can be preserved before recommending removal. If surgery is the appropriate option, treatment is planned around both the immediate problem and your long-term oral health.

Surgical and Routine Tooth Extractions
Tooth removal may be necessary when a tooth is too damaged, infected or impacted to remain healthy and functional. Dr. Soliman performs routine, surgical and wisdom tooth extractions in the office.
A routine extraction may be appropriate when a tooth is visible and accessible above the gumline. A surgical extraction may be needed when a tooth is impacted, broken below the gums or requires additional access for safe removal.

Bone Grafting to Support Your Jaw
Bone grafting may be recommended when the jaw has lost bone volume or needs additional support before another dental procedure. The goal is to rebuild or preserve areas of bone so they can better support your oral health and future treatment.
Bone grafting may be considered after an extraction or as part of planning for dental implant treatment. Dr. Soliman will determine whether grafting is necessary based on your anatomy, bone condition and treatment goals.

Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Treatment
Oral surgery can also play an important role in replacing missing teeth. Dr. Soliman provides dental implant placement and restoration in-house, allowing him to consider the surgical and restorative parts of implant treatment together.
When appropriate, bone grafting may be used to prepare an area for implant placement. Diagnostic imaging and digital treatment-planning technology can help Dr. Soliman evaluate available bone and plan implant treatment based on your individual anatomy.
Patients considering tooth replacement can learn more about dental implants.
What to Expect Before Oral Surgery
Your first step is a clinical evaluation. Dr. Soliman will examine the area, review your symptoms and use dental imaging when needed to better understand the teeth, roots, bone and surrounding structures.
Before treatment, we will explain:
- Why the procedure is being recommended
- What will happen during treatment
- Available options for keeping you comfortable
- What to expect during healing
- Any follow-up treatment that may be needed
Recommendations are based on your specific diagnosis. Some procedures can be completed in a single visit, while others may be part of a larger treatment plan.
Comfort Options for Surgical Dental Care
Feeling nervous about oral surgery is common. Our team takes time to explain the procedure and answer your questions before treatment begins.
Dr. Soliman also provides oral sedation for appropriate patients who need additional help feeling relaxed during dental treatment. If anxiety or a previous difficult dental experience is making you hesitant to receive care, talk with us about whether sedation may be an option for you.
